Moshiri made 'astronomical offer' to hire new Everton manager - report

Farhad Moshiri offered Jose Mourinho an “astronomical offer” to become the new Everton manager but the Portuguese turned it down, according to Takvim.

The online outlet reported [31 October] that the former Chelsea and Manchester United boss received a proposal from the Toffees around two weeks back.

Mourinho is said to have turned the chance to manage Everton down due to the club’s position in the league table.

Jose Mourinho could be exciting for Everton

Mourinho has been linked with a move to Merseyside due to his connection with the potential new owners, the Friedkin’s [TBR Football, 12 October].

But Goodison News reported [17 October] that the club had not approached the Portuguese head coach and that Everton were behind Sean Dyche.

If Everton did want to bring Mourinho to Merseyside you could certainly understand the allure of wanting to do so.

The 61-year-old is one of the most eminent managers in world football, having won several league and Champions League titles.

With the Toffees set to move to their new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock, having someone of Mourinho’s stature in the dugout could be fitting.

The current Fenerbahce head coach has not had the most successful of times in recent years, and his stock has gone down, but his aura and name still make him a coveted individual.

Dyche has done a brilliant job with the resources he has been given at the club, but it remains to be seen how long the Englishman will remain in charge of the Blues.

In other Everton news, the Friedkin Group’s January transfer plans have been revealed.
